SXSW Profile: Shad (FE Presents: Industry Survival Skills Panelist)

Since we last checked in on Shad on the FE Blog, he has continued to make moves and grow his fanbase. On March 1st he dropped some new music, "iTunes Session EP" with six new tracks. That same day it hit the #20 (overall) album spot on iTunes!

He's keeping himself busy on the road as well; he'll be down at SXSW next week, he has a string of tour dates in Canada thru out March and April, and then hits the road with Macklemore in Mid-April for some US dates!

Shad has done a great job with effective of videos; music videos, freestyles, etc... His latest video is "Keep Shining" from TSOL, it's one of my favorite tracks on the album, on a topic that we could use so much more in Hip Hop. It pays tribute, respect and praise to the women of the world...it's truly a powerful song, that comes to life beautifully in the video:

I couldn’t find any fotgoae. Thanks for the video. I’m glad that Shad won the award. He’s real humble. I would have got on stage and started frontin’! sike! but really I’m glad that he’s finally getting the recognition that he deserves. Can’t wait to see him perform.
